Chapter Ultra320 SCSI on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D 1-1 Device Drivers 1-3 Operating Systems 1-3 System Requirements 1-4 Understanding SCSI 1-4 SCSI IDs 1-5 Terminating the SCSI Bus 1-6 Ultra320 SCSI on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D enables you to connect up to 30 SCSI devices—such as very large arrays of high-performance hard disk drives, external storage subsystems, Ultra320/160, or Ultra2 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to any Intel- based computer with 64- or 32-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slots. Ultra320 is an enhanced SCSI technology that transfers data at up to 320 MB/sec. Ultra320 SCSI allows cable length of up to 12 meters for optimal connectivity and flexibility.1 1 When only one Ultra320/Ultra160, or Ultra2 SCSI device is connected, the cable length can be up to 25 meters (82 feet). 1-1 ASC-39320D UG.book Page 2 Monday, July 22, 2002 1:42 PM Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM) The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D has two independent SCSI channels, each with a maximum throughput of 320 MB/sec. ■ SCSI Channel A—(marked CH A on the card) has one internal connector and one external connector. ■ SCSI Channel B—(marked CH B on the card) has one external connector. For the best data I/O performance, connect only LVD (Low Voltage Differential) devices and LVD cables to the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D. (LVD devices means Ultra 320, Ultra160, and Ultra2 SCSI devices.) If you connect non-LVD devices (for example, Fast SCSI or Ultra SCSI devices), we recommend that you connect them to SCSI Channel B. This allows you to operate LVD SCSI devices at their maximum speed on Channel Awhile at the same time using non-LVD SCSI devices on Channel B. Although the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D is a 64-bit PCI card, it also works in a 32-bit PCI slot. When installed in a 32-bit PCI slot, the card automatically runs in the slower 32-bit mode. This User’s Guide provides information about using the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D and SCSI devices, troubleshooting, SCSI termination, and other important topics. It explains how to use the built-in SCSISelect® utility if you need to change the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D settings. It also explains how to install the software device drivers for your operating system.
